    Forum updates, feedback system and new versions

    By Arnie

    Firstly I'm going to try to document forum updates and other work completed to the site here in my forum blog. This will keep all the forum related updates in one place.   I've completed several updates to the forums today. We're now running the latest IPS versions for Gallery and Blog. There should be several bug fixes and feature adjustments with these new versions; I don't get a list I'm afraid or I'd publish it.   I've also taken comments on the trading system on board and we now have a

Author-ity.

Whooo! Them server problems are kinda tricky aren't they?   In a strange way its been pleasant though; Arnie's not being accessible much of the time does relieve me of some of this responsibility I now feel towards writing stuff up, but I'm probably only doing it for reasons of self-gratification anyway Its most weird that, in the times in the past week when the site has been working, that my e-mail `topic subscription reply notifications` have totally failed to materialise even though the

She's back, and she's got a new trick...

...magical Hardcore is ten times as slick as - erm, maybe not. I just realised I haven't been updating my blog for a good long while, so in the unlikely event that you've been worrying about me, here's a quick update.   1. I finished all my uni coursework. w00t. Exams soon. Poo.   2. Stuff is being built at Section 8 Airsoft. Cool stuff. Recent build days at the Shotts site means that we now have a bigger tree fort and a system of bunkers to play with since we can no longer use the farmhou

Grave Robber

If anyone else has wondered if the new Tomb Raider: Legends game is any good, then read ye on, for I have acquired it simply out of curiosity because as far as I'm concerned the original was the best and most involving game of its day. I don't do RPGs and never have done, but for adventure and exploration there was none finer than Ms Croft and `the twins`….     I'm talking about her matched pistols, of course. You filthy-minded sods; get your head out of the gutter     From the styling o

Review: Dadao.

Ooh I likes this I do, I likes it a lot. I have to say here though that if you’re under 17 then this post is probably going to aggravate you I’m afraid, because a ) you can’t get one without supervision even if you wanted to and b ) you really shouldn’t have one to be let loose with anyway, considering the damage that potentially could be done! Nothing personal to anyone of that age but unless you have several years of martial arts training and weapon handling expertise under your belt then this

Armoured Core (or something)

I have a shiny & lovely new Nitro Vo. Rail Sleeve that now sits atop the SDK – just like so, in fact:       Its been a learning experience chopping this gun up/down, and what I have learned thus far is: Nitro Vo rails are really quite clever, in that they seat neatly onto the base of the rear sight block – or rather they do on those fortunate MP5s that haven't been abused with common household weaponry (saws, chisels, tins of paint, breadknives etc.) and their rear sights haven't lo

Here is the News.

I thought I may as well highlight the lineup for the next few entries, as they should be interesting to ya'll (BTW; Dave, where the funk are ya mate? Working hard I hope I think some drinking depravity is called for soon though ).   Incidentally, in case anyone did actually notice, then considering the antics of Bank Holiday Monday it should be pretty clear that I failed to give up the sauce. Again   What I have for you shortly is a first impression and assessment of the Marushin M1 Gar

Debauchery!

*hic*   Please forgive the boring and self-absorbed nature of today's post; I'm still a little drunk- hic -even now.   I'm apparently working my way through being asked to leave all the pubs in Southampton for being drunk. (In a pub. Too drunk ) I remember that the barstaff chappie was so polite and tactful that he came and sat down next to me on the wrong side of the bar, and said that they were about to boot me out gracefully, so if I wandered off in the next 5 minutes that would be fine

Appealing, huh...?

How tricky it is to write these blog thingies, I wish people would at least gimme some feedback here! This is just a quick note to say: please appreciate the effort that goes into writing entries here; most of my posts are the best part of 1000 words and that’s a fair bit of typing, proofing, editing etc. I do this purely for the fame of course (oh fame! Rapture!) but, actually in truth, mostly so some o’ youse guys has sumthin’ to read from a fellow airsoftaholic when you get into work in the

Airsoft Site: The Duel

In a grand attempt to break from the insular course of action that has lead our skirmish group thus far to visit only the esteemed Ground Zero near Ringwood, Hampshire, we have bravely opted to patronise 2 entirely new sites, both of which actually being closer to all of us, in fact, than GZ is......   We are breaking the mould! - But in a sideways kinda direction instead of just foolishly galumphing forwards like some poorly prepared fools   Despite our actual conservation of effort (i.e.

I rest my freakin' case

http://newsbox.msn.co.uk/article.aspx?as=a...ae=windows-1252     How valuable is the life of a guinea pig? Really? Would anyone here actually choose, for example, to put untested chemicals into the eyes of one of their friends in preference to the eyes of a Guinea pig? To hear squeaks of pain, or the screams of that voice you know and care about as it writhes in agony and fear; a fear that the dumb Guinea pig simply could not comprehend, and is not even capable of? Which is fairer? Which is m

Behind the Scenes.

There is a dark side to all things, although in the realm of the rich & famous it is often never even hinted upon. In the lives of even the most famous and seemingly fantastically blessed or gifted actors there is often an underlying tone of despair or depression-   Marilyn Monroe was a painkiller junkie David Niven's first wife died in a tragic game of hide & seek Elvis was a burgerholic trigger-happy junkie The Kennedies have had a few pratfalls, here and there...

And the results are in...

Write-up from Sunday is here, but first off I would like to mention how ANNOYING it is to have the forums work for apparently less than 50% of the time since Friday. We greatly appreciate all that has been done for us more or less for free here on Arnie's, but a lot of people are mainly here to help others and, to be brutally honest, it feels like we are being denied the ability to do that.   Politics aside (and I don’t believe `server connections` have anything to do with it, otherwise how co

Goodbye to all that?

Some of you have probably noticed I've got a big sale of some of my airsoft possessions going on (If you haven't, try this link...) )   I was getting a degree of grief at home at having these dangerous guns around the house (actually they're always kept hidden safely away in the loft, but that's beside the point) and I decided that, with the looming threat of the VCR Bill (much as I hope it doesn't happen, I fear it will), there was really not much sense keeping so much money tied up in toy

Belated updated

Oh dear god, I'm not very good at keeping the blog up-to-date am I?   Let's bring everything back up to speed.   I sold my SOE Modular vest and it's pouches, and replaced that setup with a Tactical Tailor MAV. Unfortunately, I've found the MAV to be pretty uncomfortable and I am moving on to other options. As I don't really want to be bogged down with a full armour carrier such as a CIRAS, RMV, BALCS or IBA, I will be going down the route of a higher-end chestrig. I have opted for the Eagle

To ensure peace prepare for wargames.

Going to my first CQB/CQC/FIBUA game tomorrow, and along with the usual shenaniganerry of getting the list of players finalised, and in turn the requisite amount of kit that needs to be gotten ready, we have the stomach be-troubling slightly gigglesome nervousness of Trying Something New to contend with   I'm looking forward to it immensely of course: pistols and shotguns are goooooo!! ) although sadly 3 people have so far dropped out of the running, which despite making it easier for me to

Reviews & News

I finally get round to writing this up now, after a few little crises of my own, the details of which I won’t bore you with. Its worth the wait though as there has been an important discovery in the world of Airsoft….   The HFC T77 is the superlative gas SMG available today. It’s the best that I know of, bar classics perhaps (which I personally have no taste for because of the hoses, but that’s just me), nothing else comes close. It outranges a stock short-to-mid-length AEG (G36C, M4, Sig 552,

Yeah I'm a bad man, OK?

I have found the secret to dealing with those post-binge scruples: the scruples that make you feel guilty during your hangover.   They’ve actually dominated my thoughts for the past 60 hours and I can’t tell you how much of a relief it was to have my good (and blessedly continual) friend Chupp call me up and say he isn’t upset with me. I was convinced that I had irreperably insulted him, or otherly upset the dude sufficient to the point that he wasn’t speaking to me – as it turns out the 3 tim

Gushing praise

I would just like to briefly say a heartfelt "thank you" to the kindly souls who have graced me with their positive appraisal This blog rating thing is kinda cool after all, huh?   I have another amusing tale to tell tomorrow in fact so get ready for some more silliness: I'm still assimilating the details of Friday night even now; how I got to the flat at which I woke up, why I was dressed the way I was, whether my friends are still talking to me, how long I got away with dancing on the tabl

Evil 101

Forgive the crappy play-on-words Seeing as Ghost_Rider's predicament is what I would call `warranted emosity` I have a little rant of me own, but not exactly of the same ilk. I just need an excuse like that to tell you total strangers anything about myself, because I'm certain that you really don't give a fig   The thing that really makes me `evil` = stress. As far as I can estimate, stress, in its own peculiar way, accounts for and is responsible for about 20% of my personality and behav

Death and Vengeance...

Warning - this post contains Emo-esque ranting....

I still can't quite get my head in gear about the fact that in five weeks I will be heading out to sunny greece for six months. It somehow does not seem real.   More than anything I'm kicking myself about the life of the pseudo-hermit I've lived for the past year. I'm having SO MUCH FUN with the new job and the recently enhanced social life that I'm almost wishing I wasn't going - when I applied for the Greece job I didn't really feel like I had much holding me in Glasgow except Jo and now I'

RPG update

****Warning: this entry is loooong****   I haven't been updating my blog for a week or so because to be frank I haven't been doing an awful lot of interest - I've gone out dancing for most nights of the past week and tried to do some coursewrk, and that's about it apart from an OK skirmish on sunday. Last night, however, I joined a new roleplaying game group, and I have to say it's some of the most fun roleplay I've done in a disturbingly long time. I had so much fun I almost needed to be sed

Century!

Holy ###### I made it to 100! Well isn't that nice.   Taking a break from all things airsoft as I have been these last few days then I've not pondered much on the blog, but there are a couple of things I'm still gonna eulogise about.   What, you didn't think you were getting away without a rant, did you??   Saw V for Vendetta myself last night, (**SPOILERS COMING**) and I did rather like it. The faked torture of Natalie Portman was oh-so predictable, but still cool to see her head gett
